New issue 6075 by amandel.seril: Page navigation (not arrow) keys do not navigate within lists, dropdowns, or combo boxes http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6075 Chrome Version : 1.0.154.42 URLs (if applicable) : http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 3: FAIL (common to WebKit?) Firefox 3: OK IE 7: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Click any list or combo box, or any dropdown, on any page (in the example, a dropdown) to give it focus. If the item is a dropdown or combo box, click it again to collapse it, but be sure it still has focus. 2. Press [PGUP], [PGDN], [HOME], or [END]. What is the expected result? The focused item in the list, dropdown, or combo box should move up a "page", down a "page", to the start of the list, or to the end of the list. What happens instead? The keypress navigates within the page. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. Perhaps this is a feature request rather than a bug, but standard behavior on Windows browsers, at least within my memory, is to navigate within page elements when using page navigation keys, rather than only navigating the page with those keys. Text entry boxes handle this normally, but the listed page elements do not. However, if a combo box or dropdown list is expanded when a page navigation key is pressed, the box or list handles this normally as well (without navigating the page). This is a bit of an annoyance, especially since it precludes selecting multiple items within a list by holding [SHIFT] or [CTRL]; one must, instead, either hold an arrow key or click-and-drag over the list to select more than one item within it. For certain applications, this borders on a "must-have" feature, since selecting dozens or hundreds of items in a list can take an inordinately long time with the existing method. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
